Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024: Schedule, Where To Watch And What To Expect

So far there's no reason for me in particular to watch it. Not interested in any of those. Will still read the recap if you guys do one!
Hoping there's at least a (few) surprise/s!

Not looking forward to 2 hours watching ads from Keighley’s events…

Ah cool. Looking forward to it! Maybe we will get a Indy release date.

@IOI It’s so weird how Geoff Keighley basically runs the whole circuit now. At least with E3 the presentations were done by the publishers themselves. Now it’s just ego feeding for someone who seems like kind of a prune.

Geoff Keighley? Hard pass.

I worry about Geoff Keighley's monopoly on almost every video game event, especially when there are doubts about his impartiality.

@fbnaulin +1000
I'll see the videos after the show on xbox youtube account! I just can't stand the guy.

Looking forward to this. Not a huge Keighley fan, but I dislike almost anyone doing this kind of role, he's better than corp execs presenting games, even if only by a little.

Hoping for some good surprises. Would also like to see updates on 'Plucky Squire', feels like I've been waiting a while for it....

@Titntin news besides Plucky Squire coming out next month??

Thanks for the heads up I thought ONL was Thursday for some reason

Looking forward to Civ VII and Indiana on the opening night.

I just wish Xbox would say ‘right, we are going full 3rd party and that’s the end of it.’ I’d rather it wasn’t the case but then we all know where we stand , instead of them constantly allowing leaks and rumours to carry on without addressing them.

As long as there is an Xbox device I will still have it, but it’s getting the stage where I don’t even know if it’s worth them doing that.

@Scummbuddy
Im pretty open mate, happy to see what I see, but Death Stranding 2 is a new title Im expecting to see and enjoy, so I guess I should have mentioned it.
Sometimes Im desperate to see new stuff, but my backlog is huge right now and Ive just started Wukong this morning. Additionally there are lots of titles Im looking foward to playing in the remainer of the year, such as the star wars game, the new aC game and Astrobot.
When I feel like Ive almost too much to play anyway, im just happy to watch and see what they serve. Even if there was very little, its not going to matter much for me right now..
As for xbox... they have lost me already. I didnt renew GP last september and havent switched on my series x since. I agreed with my wife last night that we sell it. If MS do retain any exclusives I feel I cant live without, I could always play them on my PC, but thats looking less likely with each passing month. Its a genuine shame for a platform Ive played from its start, but I hope the studios have a solid future as 3rd party devs..

Hoping for some interesting reveals from across the industry (hate it when these non-platform shows are heavily tilted towards one platform)

@MjJmediablogger I'm in a similar boat. Not knowing the "rules" for Xbox's multiplatform plans at the moment is far more off-putting than them "pulling a Sega".
